Is Blizzard planning to implement a Real Money Auction House (RMAH) in World of Warcraft? I have no idea, but I got your attention didn’t I? In Blizzard’s latest master piece, Diablo 3, they are releasing one of the first real-money auction house in gaming history. It will allow players to buy and sell items using their everyday Real-Life currency (like in RL). If this works, which it will, why wouldn’t Blizzard implement a cross-realm Real Money Auction House?!

There’s really no reason not to do it except the time it takes to implement, and they just did all the backend work for Diablo 3, it would have been smart for them to consider implementing the same system in WoW; so did they? There’s no telling, but I’d say yes. Blizzard just recently cancelled October’s BlizzCon. They’ve been hosting BlizzCon since 2005 and have only missed one year since it’s inception. What’s so important this year that is so important that they are skipping BlizzCon? In 2006, it may have been their efforts to release the January 2007 The Burning Crusade Expansion. In 2012 it might be their frantic efforts to release MoP or maybe to support an earlier release of MoP and prepare the RMAH for MoP coming in 2013.

What do you think? Is Blizzard going to push out a RMAH for World of Warcraft? It has millions of subscribers, probably more than Diablo 3 will ever have at once.
